I am using pdflatex to produce a .pdf file. But, it is not working when .eps files are compiled. I have tried it with XeLatex but, it is hanging out sometimes. Now I want to produce a .pdf file using two steps : latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf. I don't know how to use it. The location of my .tex file (i.e., Myfile.tex) is on the desktop and the system is Ubuntu11.04.
As for example :

1. No need for figure extension explicitly, \includegraphics{fig1} is good enough. add \usepackage{epstopdf} after \usepackage{graphicx} in preamble to make .eps figures work with pdflatex for TeXLive(2009). 2. In TeXLive 2012 it's done automatically (behind using epstopdf)without adding any package. xelatex handles .eps natively. 3. Have a look at Heiko Oberdiek's Answer to Graphics file extensions and their order of inclusion when not specified

... 4. Imp: How was the .eps generated ? Unless someone uses PSTricks, pdflatex should work fine. 5. Note place your fig1.eps and .tex in same place/folder. 6. Which editor are you using run latex filename then dvips filename and ps2pdf filename there may be flags/options incase one wants to add inside editor configuration.

I am using 'kile'.I have used '\usepackage{epstopdf}'. But, it shows an error :'fig1-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found \includegraphics[height=3.5cm,width=3cm,angle=0]{fig1.eps}'

Remove file extension and enable shell escape pdflatex -shell-escape filename. Please post all relevant/important information like this error inside the Q and fig.eps file (dropbox) instead of comments so that it will be noticed by all and Q & A remains tidy and standalone.
